The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1594

"I was playing along with Munchkin just now. I'd never turn him away if he wants to come over, but if you have other plans in mind, we'll respect your decisions too."

At the end of the day, Petra was a grown woman who knew that children would sometimes unintentionally hurt their parents' feelings with the things they said.

Moreover, I had pretended to be angry when Munchkin said he wanted to live with the two seniors. She probably thought that I, his mother, was genuinely upset.

I smiled and walked forth to link my arm with Petra's. "What are you saying? How could I be angry at Munchkin? Don’t worry, Munchkin is a smart child. He won’t make me jealous." Petra was stunned when she heard what I said, but she could not hold her laughter back as she looked at me.

"Oh, you children. We’re getting older, and it's becoming even harder to understand you. Alright then, you make the final call. Either way, I just want you to know that your dad and I are old now. We won’t go anywhere. We stay in this house every day, so you can come to visit whenever you have time.

"We’re okay with helping to raise the child, and you can have him stay here if you want to. We’ll be delighted to have him.

And we won't have any objections if you want him to stay with you."

Petra did not force anything on me, but I could see the disappointed look in her eyes.

Our family was rarely all in Whaldorf City at the same time, so naturally, she wanted the family to be together. However, she seemed to have taken into consideration the fact that I was not accustomed to things yet. Thus, she did not want to force me into anything.

"Don't worry, Mom. I understand. Also, I don't think we need to agonize over this problem because Munchkin has his own opinions too.”

"Huh?" A confused look appeared in Petra's eyes. It seemed like she had not fully understood what I said.

I explained, "I actually wanted Munchkin to study in Zenon since it's not as academically rigorous over there. I want him to grow up happy and healthy. I don’t want him becoming stressed out at such a young age."

That was something Petra knew of, and she immediately nodded in understanding when I finished my explanation.

"However, Munchkin told me that he wants to live with his parents, which is why he decided to study in Whaldorf City."

"Munchkin is a mature child. I've never been worried about him. All I worry about now is you and Theo,” she said as she patted my hand.
